I’m a cashier, and it’s really strange just how easy it is to spot a criminal. It’s like they go out of their way to fit as many stereotypes as possible into their identity.

Someone tried to pay with fake bills earlier today at work, wearing a baseball cap, reflective glitter sunglasses, a leather jacket, and jeans, smelling of cigarettes talking in a heavy accent with a silent large guy following behind him, and pretending to not understand English even as he pulls fake bills out from a bulging pocket.

Like, wtf

    Has it occurred to you that if you saw a criminal that didn’t fit the stereotype, you might not know it?

      Was going to say exactly this. OP’s only found the people who’re bad at it. The ones who can do it you’ll only catch if you’re watching inventory as they enter/leave.
